| This was a really fun experience. Just a word of caution though. You really need to have a fairly good sense of balance and not be intimidated by doing something physical. Being tense isn't good for this activity. You need to relax and shift your weight very subtly. Once you get your Segway legs, it's a real blast. A great way to see the sights of Chicago! |

| I took my wife and nieces on the Park Glide Tour on a Sunday afternoon, and everyone had a great time. You get comfortable driving the Segways very fast after your training. They don't start the tour until all the riders get enough practice driving them. We had two girls age 14-16 who at first were a little nervous, but quickly got the hang of it. The views of the Chicago skyline and lakefront are spectacular. It's a very memorable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone. |

| My husband and myself went on the Segway Tour, and it was fun. We saw parts of the city we hadn't really seen before, and it was beautiful. Our day was exceptional weather wise also. Fun time and great way to see Grant Park and Museum Park. |

| The tour was great! My group had a blast but we started 2 hours late due to employees not showing up to work on time. We were promised gift certificates for future use because of the lengthy wait but in the end we were not given the certificates...disappointing. |

| The Segway Experience was even more fun than I thought it would be, and I had very high expectations. Everybody in the group "got it" very quickly, and there were no mishaps of even a minor nature. It was challenging enough to be great fun. We had the opportunity to try out a variety of terrain -- uphill, downhill, concrete, grass and loose pebbles, and once we were all old hands at it, our guide, Paul, let us try his much faster Segway. The tour covered some of Chicago's lovliest sights, too. |

| i expected to be able to take off on the segway from the get go, but the balance, stopping, turning took me about 30-45 minutes to feel comfortable. for a two hour tour that is a substantial amount of time, but nonetheless, the tour was fun and challenging. i would recommend of most anyone that is curious. we enjoyed a fairly uncrowded time of day at the parks, so that was a definite plus. i would not recommend trying to navigate through a crowd in grant park, for example.
our tour guide was great at patiently explaining the techniques and focusing on safety. he did an excellent job! |

| This is a great way to see Chicago! I took seven cousins there on a Friday before a Saturday wedding and we all had a blast! The hosts were great. They were very friendly, laid back, and pretty much let our group do what we wanted. There were plenty of opportunities to go "off the beaten path" a litle and enjoy the segways. My only suggestion is to have the hosts talk in more detail about city sights and trivia. When compared to what you learn on the riverboat tour, you get less information on the Segway tour. If they firmed up their knowledge just a little, it would be perfect. |

| Great service--both via Zerve and in the office the day of the visit. Our guide trained us well and was most patient with two "mature" folks. We took the tour at 10 AM on Thursday, 6/12 in downtown Chicago. We have already recommended it to several friends and plan to take visitors on the tour again sometime soon.
Thanks, C R M |

| I had a great time on my tour. The tour guide was very helpful and patient with my mom and helped her feel more comfortable on the Segway. I would recommend this to locals and tourists! |
